chapter One

ST.LUCIA AND AIMEE

land atlas! i couldn't stay any longer on sea" Philip was
exhausted and tired from the trip from the caribbean to the
island of the St.Lucia. he didn't want come but his friend Pierre
Jacques convinced him

the earl turned around as he spoke. Pierre Jacques gave a little
cry of disbelief.

"oh no ! philip it was not that bad . i'm glad you came with me"
pierre jacques said

philip just shook his said and started walking away from the
Castries harbour and said" i cannot wait to get back to England.
i think i will leave in a week"

pierre looked very upset because he really wanted the earl to
stay on the island because it was really beautiful.

"you can't leave for England yet"

philip smiled at his french friend and replied

" i have a very pretty countess for my fiancee waiting in Norfolk
for me".

the two european men walked around the town of castries , looking
at how different castries was different to london and paris. the
city had this unique way of luring you to vist and love it.

philip wanted to get away from his step mother elizabeth who had
arranged his marriage to maia the countess. philip just wanted
elizabeth off his back.

pierre couldn't understand his friend's decision to marry maia.
he thouht philip had enough time to find a suitable wife and knew
he had to convince his friend to break off the enagement.

"but philip you don't love maia" he said

" i know but a promise is a promise and besides she's gorgerous"
the earl replied.

the two men thenwent into their carriage and rode to the town of
souferie.

"the harbour is very nice"� philip said as he looked back

"wait until you see the pitions, the gardens, the sulphur and hot
springs, it will be liked the garden of eden." pierre smiled as
he said that.

" garden of eden! pierre jacques i'll be the judge of that. "
philip said

now soufriere is on the west coast of the island a major trading
and planation town. the french made soufriere a town in 1746 and
it was the captial of the island for a short time.

even though St.Lucia finallybecame a british terriority in 18 15
most of the island kept the french culture and characterstics it
was more so in Soufriere were the planation owners, tradespeople
who were europeans were of french descent and the africans slaves
and multatoes though English became the official language spoke
french creole.

soufrierewith it's rich french culture and it's exotic
landscapecould put a spell on you and philip was about to be put
under a spell not by the town but a woman.

the carriage took about an hour and half to reach the planation.

meanwhile on the harbour there was a beautiful , young , mulattoe
woman, she had this mysterious look about her, like she was
totally not of this world. this mulattoe woman's name was Aimee,
and she had her sights on the earl ,she was definenty going to
bring him to the dark side and to her master Papa Bois( the devil
in disguise).

as beautiful aimee was there was something wrong with her ,not
wrong because she was not off this world but a human would not be
able to tell if they didn't look at her foot. yes her foot. her
foot was not like any other foot, she had one human foot and the
other foot was a cow's foot. aimee was a lajables (french creole
for a evil female spirit). yes she was a lajables an evil spirit
that seduces men and then kills them. she was also the devil's
wife and she didn't want to kill philip she wanted him for her
husband, philip was too valuable to kill.

before aimee could get him too the dark side she had to get him
into her bed, and now she plann to follow him to Souferiere her
domian.

philip and jacques had arrived to the souferriere planation.
looking around the two european men cou;dn't believe their eyes.
they were shock

philip: oh Lord Jesus ! JACQUES are sure this is the right
estate?

jacques: yes it is ! but i haven't been here in years

philip : this place looks like a ghostly estate

the planation was rundown, it looked like it wasn't occupied in
decades, the houses and huts were falling apart, there was rats
everywhere. it was unbeliebvable.

jaques:oh sweet mother of God. what has my brother done to this
place?

philip: well let's find out.

they walk towards the planation door when out of no where aimmee
appeared from no where.

aimee: boswe (good evening) mwe pedi{i'm lost)

philip surprised to this lovely lady there asked jaqcques to
translete for him

jaqcques: she said good night and she's lost.

aimme: yes that's what i said

both men : you could speak english

aimee: i'm looking for the planation of michael pierre, do you
know where it is?

jacques: it's right here michael is my brother.

aimee looks around and saw how horrible it looked and took it as
her opening

aimee: oh lord jesus the stories are true!

jaques: what stories?

aimme: the devil is collecting his payment from your brother.

philip: what does that mean

aimee five years ago michael fell in love with a beautiful woman
but he didn't know she was married to the devil.

when satan found out he wanted to kill michael but michael begged
for his life and gave satan everything of his including his
estate.

satan accepted but he wanted michael's favourite slave onya who
was a strong christian. michael accepted and now the devil owns
him and the planation.

philip: what about onya?

aimee: she's satan's sex slave. she cann't not be saved

oh my God philip i think we better get back on the next ship to
europe . jacques said obviously looking frightened.

we cann't not leave your brother and that slave girl for lucifer.
there must be a way to save them philip replied

they cann't be saved they belong to lucifer now he's very
powerful. aimee said

yes but there's one more powerful than him. i'm not leaving

jacques my friend let's go inside and the two men walk into the
planation house leaving aimee behind feeling well please with her
self. her plan was in action

fools you'll be lucifer's by the next full moon.

little did philip and jacques know that the full moon would be in
a month and they had no idea what they getting into

ELIZABETH AND MAIA

in a 12th century medevial castle in Norwich Norfolk Philip's
stepmother Elizabeth Vanderbilt was staring at herself at a
mirror. elizabeth was a beautiful woman in her late 30's with
dark blonde hair and ocean blue eyes., she was of medium height
yet slender.she had this royal look about her that made her
servants respect her. her beauty and artistorcy look is what made
william philip's father fall in love with her but that beauty
covers a vain and cruel nature.

" don't i lookpretty today" she said looking at the round mirror.
elizabeth then went to her jewllery box opening to see exotic
diamonds the ones william bought from india for her. thinking of
india made her think of her stepson philip who traveled to the
caribbean with his french friend jacques. in order for philp to
get the earldom. he had to marry by his twenty eight birthday if
not he had to marry a woman of elizabeth choice and elizabeth
would have a say in running the earldom.

philip had realize he was not getting married soon before his
28th birthday so he promised to marry maia an italian countess
but jacques didn't agree with his decision. elizabeth knew that
he had a very strong influence on philip. with phiilp in the
caribbean and out of her control , she was beginning to worry
that he might fall for a goveronor's daughter or some creole
girl.

elizabeth started to reminacised the last conversation she had
with her stepson

"you can not go to st.lucia. screamed elizabeth

you can not tell mewhere to go. replied philip

i demand you to tell why are you going to the island

you can demand all you want . that's none of your business. i go
where i please

remember you promise to marry maia. you better marry her philip

or what who knows i just might marry some creole girl whiles i'm
in the island . it will sure get you back to germany to your
pathetic family or worse on the streets of london begging. he
said with much venom

and at time elizabeth slapped him. he was shocked. he grabbed her
ready to hit her

but philip remembered himself, and remembered he was not going to
be like this father and hit a woman no matter how evil elizabeth
was

elizabeth was surprised herself that he didn't hit her but she
was relieved

philip then told her: don't push me elizabeth or you might get
what you not asking for. and then he walked off angrily

coming back to the present elizabeth couldn't help think at that
moment philip almost became his father , but she couldn't worry
about that. all she wanted was for him to marry maia.

and at that thought maia walked in to her room

elizabeth why did you tell me philip went to the caribbean?

because he did not want any one to know maia

but i'm his fiancee why wouldn't you tell me. what if he marries
someone else whiles he's there. we both know he does not love me
at least not the way i love him

he'll grow to love you maia

oh how i wish i could go to saint- lucia and be with him

that's when elizabeth got an idea

you can go to st- lucia take jacques sister with you

elizabeth what are you talking about

you going to st-lucia. philip would not be able to break his
promise to you

but elizabeth did not know what she was getting maia into or
herself. she was looking for trouble and she was going to get it

elizabeth i don't think philip would want me to follow him

maia if you want philip to love you , you must be in his face.

now let's get jacques sister marie to come with us

us ! elizabeth! you are niot coming

yes i'm besides it might do me good to see more of the world. we
need to get marie so we can pack and head on the ship to
st-lucia.

with that said the count of surrfolk stephen burnett came into
elizabeth's room

where are you going elizabeth he asked kissing her hands. oh you
look gorgerous today

oh thank you stephen. she said blushing

stephen barely noticed maia, it was times like these that maia
was jealous for elizabeth. men barely noticed maia. she wasn't
beautiful like elizabeth or any european noble woman fo that
matter. she was of average beauty. nothing to wow a man

maia was plain and pale she wasn't the girl you would want to
show off to your friends

wait you don't want to philip to be alone on the island because
you afraid he might meet some govonor's daughter or some wealthly
creole girl and break off the enagement to maia.

stephen you see right through me

beth i don't think you should intervere with philip's life

if i don't make him marry maia and he marries some other girl of
his choice i'll might end up back in germany or worse on the
streets of london or bristol begging

it would not come to that beth philip might hate you but his not
his father. he wouldn't put on the streets.

stephen sometimes i think at times he is his father's son. i'm
worried he'll turn like william

but beth if you contuine to push he just might will. so do not
push him my dear cuz you just might get what you are not asking
for.

with that said both stephen and elizabeth shuddered at the
thought of philip turning into his father.

ONYA

on the souferire estate philip and jacques went inside the
planation . they thought maybe inside would be better but they
were wrong. as the walked into the estate they felt a feeling of
dread that something bad was going to happen but the men couldn't
put their finger on it

sweet mary mother of Jesus jacques said in shocked of what he was
seeing. the house was dark no light, the rodents on the table
spolit food on the floor. jacques could not believe his eyes but
he was going to get a serious and unwanted surprise his brother

he hadn't seen his brother yet but philip saw him i couldn't
believe his eyes

michael look like he was a century old, long beard, uncouthed
hair, his clothes was rags and you could smell an aweful sight on
him from a mile away. michael look he was in some other world

jacques i think you better look to your right

why philip ?

just look

and jacques turn and he saw his brother

oh saint paul, saint james help us all

they walked towards michael

when woman stopped them

no leave him alone you have done enough she said

go back to hell where you came from she screamed hysterically

philip then took her hand gently and said to her. calm down. we
are here to help. we are from europe. i'm philip earl of east
anglia, this my friend jacques pierre who's from france and
that's his brother michael.

when she realized they there to help she relaxes.

i prayed to God that he'll send some help

well help is here your name? philip asked he couldn't see her
because it was dark but he figured out she was the slave girl

my name is onya. i'm one of moinsieur pierre's slaves well i'm
the only one left cuz the others runway after all this with the
devil happened

so it's true jacques finally spoke up and your his love slave

no i'm not everyone believes that but satan cannot touch me

why can't he touch you? jacques asked

he just can't. let's get out of this place

you can leave? philip asked

yes i can i only come here to feed mosieur pierre but i stay at
the church

we can go there now. so the three of them left michael in the
esatate and started their way to the church. and that's where
philip sees onya's beauty. she was tall, slender and had dark
skin that look like rich dark chocolate, her skin too him look
smooth and silky. she had exotic brown eyes. everything about her
features was elegant and he thought for slave was stunning even
though she dressed in rags.

onya noticed philip looking her and was flattered. she never had
a white man look at her in that way. the only european man to
look at her with attraction was michael and he 's now far gone
and mad. she wished she could help michael but right now only God
help him
